THE train due to arrive at platform 1 at a new railway station in north Warwickshire will be approximately three months late.

That's the announcement being made over the completion of a station at Coleshill, which was due to open this spring.

It will now not be ready until August.

Labour MP for North Warwickshire Mike O'Brien, a key campaigner for the new station, said: "I am told that fill material used to construct ramps to the new road bridge is being replaced because testing has shown that it does not meet requirements.

"The delay is a bit of a pain but we have waited a long time for this station and we can wait a bit longer, because this station will be a big bonus for Coleshill."
